Chapters

Bill, we got 60 to 90,000 thoughts a day in our in our minds, right? Yes. 80% of them are negative. 80%. You know what I mean? So you need to force yourself to replace a negative thought with a positive one or another negative one's going to go in, is my point, you know, and that's what we have to truly understand. But you were onto something about the trees and everything. Every single day of my life, in my journal, 1 through 10, things that I'm grateful for. And it could be as simple as an electric toothbrush or indoor plumbing or my cell phone, for whatever matter. You know what I mean? Things that I can get emotionalized with, not just writing them down, but getting emotional like, oh, yeah, I do love that. That's great.
